Eight Indicators of an Extraordinary Group

 As consultants, we have invested years in working with groups in organizations.  We share a curiosity about what makes some groups fantastic and others not.  We’ve seen groups soar to high performance sometimes in because of our help, and often in spite of our help!  What is it that makes for the “magic” that transforms some groups we’ve worked with?  And, can we capture just a bit of the magic and take it to other groups?  Those questions were the focus of our four year study of sixty extraordinary groups.  That study led us to conclusions that altered the way we work with groups.  We will share some of what we learned here.
